TORONTO, ON –(Marketwired – April 03, 2017) – NewCastle Gold Ltd. (TSX: NCA) (NewCastle Gold or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a preliminary surface drill testing program has been completed over the JSLA backfilled pit at the Castle Mountain gold project (the “Project”) located in San Bernardino County, California. This work is part of an initial assessment of the backfill material placed within the formerly mined JSLA open pit and the viability for its use as feed material in a potential Run-of-Mine heap leach program (“the ROM program”). The ROM program provides an opportunity to reprocess large volumes of sub 0.5 g/t material that was previously treated as waste.
